Singer, harmonica player and songwriter San Pedro Slim
a.k.a David Kiefer, hails from the Los Angeles port town of San Pedro,
California. His first professional gig took place at the seedy San Pedro
tavern ‘Between Rounds’ on Pacific Avenue in early 1991. It was from
that moment on that playing blues became the most important thing in his
life. “It was electric, there was a lot of blues happening. There were
so many great musicians playing out at that time, you’d be out every
night”, David recalls. It was a chance sit in with Rick Holmstrom’s Band
in 1992 that would have a big impact on Slim’s career. After a few gigs,
Holmstrom suggested that they take Slim’s original material and go into
the studio to cut a demo. The results turned out later to be part of
Slim’s debut cd ‘Another Night On The Town’ who will see the light in
1997. Despite the good reviews, short after the release of the record
David quit music concentrating on day job until 2003 when he resurrected
San Pedro Slim once again. ‘Barhoppin’, was released in 2008 and
features once again Rick Holmstrom and his touring band in all tracks.
